I have been trying to use 2.0, and there is a really big hurdle or missing
feature for me (or is it a bug?):
When using the sliders to change paragraph indents or margins, they do not
snap to a grid or increment and are therefore impossible to use accurately.
The only accurate way is to enter values into the dialog boxes. I have
turned on Grid and Align to Grid in options to no avail.
This is just awful, and I can't imaging committing to the product with the
ability to snap to some logical increment, such as 1/4 inch, 1/8 inch, 0.1
inch. Ideally the snap increment would be user-definable, like a CAD
program. Doing layout, setting up paragraph styles and arranging documents
is just not possible without it IMHO.
MS Word 2000, where we stopped, does snap to 1/8" increments, and when you
hold down the ALT key it disables the snap function, the slider moves freely
and the dimension is graphically shown (like 1.38") - Very nice.
I keep thinking this must be a bug - how could you design a graphics program
(which most APP's is) without this ability. Can you tell that I am an
Architect?
Please add in! I'd love to switch, but this is a deal-breaker.

You could setup/create a paragraph style for each different indent and
margin setting. Then just apply the appropriate style when you need
it. This way all of your paragraphs match. That's what I do.
